DANIEL NORGREN
Daniel Norgren is
one of the really interesting and inventive artists on the Swedish
underground-scene today.
Onstage he’s often all by himself with his one-man
band on drums, percussion, guitar, harmonica, kazoo and vocals (you know Bob Log
III-stile).
He takes the sounds deeply rooted in the old pre-war blues
and jazz like Son House Blind Willie Johnson Fats Waller and so on…and the early
gospel and folksongs and mixes it up with fragile ballads, coarse rockabilly and
a bunch of real lyrics and performs it with a TOTAL FEELING on and
offstage.
-Total feeling, it's what it’s all about…
His debut album
“Kerosene dream” was an experiment with himself behind all the instruments
(almost everything homemade) and harsh noisemaking. It was put by some of the
Swedish music-magazines and critics among the very best Swedish records of the
year (2007), often compared with Tom Waits and Daniel Johnston.
His
second album “Outskirt” was released in April 2008.
It has got a bigger
influence then Kerosene dreams.
It was recorded with a constellation of great
musicians from other bands like Kamchatka, Andra Generationen, Rambling Nicholas
Heron…
“Outskirt” is a raw mind-rinsing bizarre blues from the outskirts.
